Thankful, Thoughtful, Thirsty....It must be Thursday!

---I'm THANKFUL for - this amazing opportunity with Decadent Publishing. My first work - RESPITE - hits the ebook shelf tomorrow (Friday 5/20). I hope you'll check it out! I'm also thankful for encouragement from so many different sources; my husband who prods in his own way; my beta-buttkicker and fellow DPer Deanna Wadsworth; and of course all the folks who held my hand through this process - Katy, Meredith, Heather & Lisa! I'm also thankful for more blessings than I can count and most of which I am not worthy of!

---I'm THOUGHTFUL about the impetus of this book. The WW2 generation is one like this country had never seen and will never see again. My father may have gone through some of the same war-time emotions as my 'hero,' Ryan Davison. Yet, that generation always seemed to 'move on' without any thought or worry of their past. Which makes me thoughtfully thankful for all those in uniform, in our armed forces, those who wear a badge, carry a fire axe or respond to emergencies - without them, we couldn't live without worry. THANKS to all our brave men and women!

---And, I am THIRSTY for...
...peace and quiet (both physically and cognitively), but if I can't have that, the following will do:
---One properly tapped Belhaven at Duke of Devon in Sheboygan, WI
---An ice-cold Irn-Bru sipped while watching the tide in Anstruther, Scotland
---A two-litre stein of Warsteiner at Oktoberfest in Munich
---My third Kir Royale at Martin's in Key West, Florida
---A flute of Bastianch Brut in the wine room at ESCA in NYC
---and just one more Pabst, Red White & Blue, Kingsbury or Hamm's with my parents in our back yard on a warm July day.

You can escape life, but never escape love.
